SphygmoCor® Mx Central Blood Pressure Monitoring System

General Information

Vendor		AtCor Medical Pty Ltd.
Item		SphygmoCor® Mx Central Blood Pressure Monitoring System
Features		Benefits: The SphygmoCor® Mx Central Blood Pressure Monitoring System now makes it easier for you to monitor the "definitive" blood pressure – the pressure at the heart. The system: Monitors the complete aortic blood pressure profile that is seen by the left ventricle, the coronary arteries and the baro-receptors - not just the max/min pressure values seen in the radial artery. Monitors central blood pressure – the pressure that drives the cerebral blood flow. Tracks dynamic changes in LV load and subendocardial viability Monitors subtle pressure waveform changes, not just max/min values of blood pressure.
Approval		IEC/EN 60601-1 (amendment 1 & 2) & IEC/EN 60601-1-2 (AS/NZS 3200.1.0 AS/NZS 3200.1.2) Electromedical Safety Certification (this is a mandatory requirement for medical equipment to be used in hospitals in some countries). Rating – "Type CF Class 2” Device listing with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) CE Mark (MDD Annex II) MLHW registration for Japan KFDA Approval for Korea Import License for China

Product Description

The SphygmoCor® Mx Central Blood Pressure Monitoring System extends the capabilities of the SphygmoCor Px system by providing continuous, real-time derivation of the aortic pressure waveform.

Key cardiovascular parameters are sampled every 5 seconds, and trended. These parameters include:

Central Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse Pressures
Augmentation Index – a measure of the clinical impact of arterial stiffness on the heart
Ejection Duration – systolic timing, and hence an indicator of myocardial demand
Subendocardial Viability Ratio – a measure of cardiac reserve

The SphygmoCor® Mx System also allows reports to be generated at regular intervals, or whenever required.

The SphygmoCor® Mx System utilizes a continual radial artery pressure waveform input. This can be from either a radial artery catheter and BP monitor or a non-invasive radial artery pressure waveform monitor (calibrated or non-calibrated).

- Over 70% of patients with high normal blood pressure at risk
- Central pressure cannot be reliably inferred from brachial pressure

- Noninvasively-determined central pulse pressure is more strongly related to vascular hypertrophy, extent of atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular events than is brachial blood pressure
